Abstract: TITLE: PROTECTION OF STEEL REINFORCED CONCRETE ELEMENTS 
A method of protecting steel in a reinforced concrete element is disclosed. The reinforced 
concrete of the element contains an electrolyte. The method involves providing a primary 
anode, which is a sacrificial anode, and providing a secondary anode, which is connected to 
a positive terminal of at least one source of direct current, 'DC', power. The primary anode 
and secondary anode are arranged to have an ionic connection with the steel in the 
reinforced concrete element via the electrolyte. The primary anode is connected to the steel 
in the reinforced concrete element using an electron conductor. The negative terminal of the 
source of DC power is connected to the steel in the reinforced concrete element using an 
electron conductor.

Abstract: ] 
Disclosed is an image data encoding/decoding method and apparatus. A 
method for decoding a 360-degree image comprises the steps of: receiving a 
bitstream obtained by encoding a 360-degree image; generating a prediction image 
by making reference to syntax information obtained from the received bitstream; 
combining the generated prediction image with a residual image obtained by 
dequantizing and inverse-transforming the bitstream, so as to obtain a decoded 
image; and reconstructing the decoded image into a 360-degree image according to 
a projection format. Here, the step of generating the prediction image comprises the 
steps of: obtaining, from motion information included in the syntax information, a 
motion vector candidate group including a motion vector of a block adjacent to a 
current block to be decoded; deriving a prediction motion vector from the motion 
vector candidate group, on the basis of selection information extracted from the 
motion information; and determining a prediction block for the current block to be 
decoded, using a fmal motion vector derived by adding the prediction motion vector 
to a differential motion vector extracted from the motion information.

Abstract: This invention relates to liquid complexes of anionic organic dyes with quaternary ammonium compounds which are homogeneous and thus substantially free of unwanted inorganic salts. Of particular interest as quaternary ammonium compounds are those which comprise alkoxylated moieties. Such complexes are formed through ionic bonds formed between the two compounds. The complexes are then removed of substantially all resultant unwanted salt formed from the cations of the dye and the counter ions of the quat so as to obtain an homogeneous liquid colorant which easily disperses within different media and which possess favorable migration and coloring characteristics. This invention also concerns methods of making the aforementioned salt-free anionic dye/quat complexes as well as methods of utilizing such complexes for dyeing thermoplastic and thermoset compositions and the incorporation of such complexes within aqueous and non-aqueous formulations and ink compositions.

Abstract: In connection-oriented switching of packet data in known mobile communications systems, resources of the transmission path between the serving node (SGSN) and the radio network subsystem (RNS) and memory resources of the radio network subsystem are reserved unnecessarily due to the burst-like nature of packet data. Thus the transmission network's limited address space and the radio network subsystem's management resources are consumed. The invention concerns such connection management in a mobile communications system, which is suitable for packet-switched data transmission. The method according to the invention is characterized in that the logical connection between the serving node (SGSN) and the radio network subsystem (RNS) is released, so that the logical connection between the serving node (SGSN) and the mobile station (MS) remains, and the released logical connection is reconnected, when relaying of user data starts.

Abstract: Mobile stations in communication with several base stations in a cellular CDMA system (as when undergoing soft handoff) do not use the conventional "or of the downs" rule for assessing power control commands from base stations. Mobile stations assess the link quality of the links from the base station. If any base station displays link quality above a predetermined threshold and if that base station is requesting power reduction, power is reduced by a predetermined amount, delta. Otherwise, power is adjusted up or down by an amount less than or equal to delta according to the received power control signals from each base station in conjunction with a weight determined from the signal quality of the link from each base station.

Abstract: A method is provided for transferring a set of data over a network by monitoring the level of actual network bandwidth utilization. The method encompasses two embodiments that utilize different algorithms. In a first embodiment, the method identifies a maximum monitored level of actual utilization and calculates a threshold level of utilization as a function of the maximum monitored level of utilization. The threshold level represents a level below which a set of data, such as a software update, may be transferred or downloaded over the network without interfering with other network activity at the network interface. If the actual level of utilization is less than the threshold level, at least a portion or segment of the data is received over the network. In a second embodiment, the method identifies a maximum monitored level of actual utilization and calculates a size for data blocks to be transferred as a function of the maximum monitored level of utilization. The data blocks represent a segment of a set of data, such a software update that may be transferred or downloaded over the network without interfering with other network activity at the network interface.

Various processes based upon commands are only indicated by unit times of respective command processes based upon the time code file and then text synchronous display corresponding to a set speed of, for example, 60 words per minute is made.
